"This one is for my friend Pam, who calls it "that cabbage potato thing". Simple, probably quasi-Indian, and delicious"

 

• Ready In: 1hr
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 8 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
• 1 onion, sliced
• 4 large potatoes, peeled, cubed small
• 1 head cabbage, checked, rinsed, and shredded
• 1⁄2 cup olive oil
• 1 tablespoon mustard seeds
• 1 tablespoon cumin
• 1 tablespoon coriander
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)

directions

1. Prepare all the vegetables: garlic, onion, potatoes, and cabbage. Set aside.
2. Heat the oil in a huge skillet and cook the spices until the mustard seeds pop, mixing constantly.
3. Add the garlic, onion and potatoes, and cook another 5-10 minutes.
4. Add the cabbage, mix, cover the pan and cook over slow-medium heat for another 25 minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure it doesn’t burn. (It might need a tiny bit of water to cook the potatoes well, but add only a tiny amount or the whole thing will be mushy).
5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Continue to cook until potatoes are cooked through.
7. Add lemon juice (if desired).
